Brimley State Park provides recreational opportunities along the beautiful shore of Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay. One of the oldest state parks in the Upper Peninsula, it was established in 1923 when the Village of Brimley gave the DNR the park's initial 38 acres. The remaining acreage was acquired through purchase or exchange. Hunting, fishing, boating and hiking are popular amenities found at Brimley.

Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

July 13Great park for kids by Armyengr

Camped here 5-9 July 2011, 4 adults, 2 children. This is a great place for kids--shallow sandy beach, playground and bike paths. However, I like a bit of privacy when camping and all the sites here are right on top of each other,you are always 20 ft. or so from your neighbors with little to separate you-very crowded. Washrooms are pretty decent for a state park.

April 7My favorite

We have been going to Birmley State Park since I was 7 I am not 60. I love this park and always will

November 7Great Area! by htlk1999

We go camping here every summer. We love the Brimley area. You have lots to see and do. It is a great central location. You can get locally smoked whitefish and trout. You can take a day trip to the Soo area. Then the drive along lake shore drive. The park is clean and well kept. Water & electric with dump site available. Several Casinos and golf course near by.
